Running Accomplishments:

Ran first marathon after 18 months of training (minus injury time) at age 52 in Logan, Utah on Sept 18, 2010.  Time was 4:16:56 compared to a goal of 4:15.

Second marathon was Oct 1, 2011 in the heat of St George.  Time fell to 4:52:27.

Short-Term Running Goals:

With two marathons behind me, my next goal is to run one in under 4 hours and potentially qualify for Boston within 2 years.

Long-Term Running Goals:

My primary physical goal is to live a long, healthy life and to stay active to the end.  While I can, I expect running to be a big part of that.

Personal:

Married with 8 children and 5 grandchildren.  Youngest child is 13.

Total Distance

4.63 miles in 43:27 or 9:23/mile.  Oh yes, average heart rate was 152bpm.  Besides running it like a race today, I also went back to long sleeves, gloves, and a hat in the 42 degrees, rainy weather.  Got some new snow in the mountains, but none in Orem.

Y'all need to go ahead and do the summer thing.

Yup. I agree with the Texas guy--I quote him all the time-- "There is a reason there is an espresso stand on every corner in WA"

I wonder if UVM is in danger, either from icy roads or flooding?

Good questions. Frankly, I'd be surprised to see it canceled. But I don't have any inside information about UVM or the weather.
